Italy

March 25, 2014

Alena from Italy sent this card to me.  She wrote about the building on the card, a building that is very famous, but one that I have never seen in person.

She writes," I like the opera and La Scala theater is one of the most famous opera houses. From [the] outside it is much smaller [than] you'd expect, but the auditorium is huge (2800 seats) and the stage is one of the largest in Italy.  It was built in 1778 and soon became the center of the city's social life.  It even had a casino inside. The theater Chorus and Ballet groups are famous."


The poor card got rather eaten up somewhere along the way.  You can just see a bit of it on the picture of the card.
The stamp is quite unusual. It looks very official, rather than decorative.

Thanks for a great card Alena!
